A French "Certificat de Navigabilite pour Exportation", or a British "Certificate
of Airworthiness for Export", endorsed as noted under "Import Requirements",
must be submitted for each individual ai rcraft for which application for US
certification is made.
The type design approved under this Type Certificate is defined in Concorde
Document No. 408.106/78, Issue 2, including Revision 1 and later revisions.
Additional modifications generated by Air France or by British Airways, and
approved by DGAC or CAA, as appropriate, are defined in the following:
(1) Air France Document No. AF-01-TSS, "Index of Air France -
originated modifications approved in compliance with FAA and
DGAC regulations".
(2) Civil Aviation Authority le tter 9/30/CON 10FH, dated December
15, 1978.
Import Requirements:
An FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificate may be issued on the basis
of a French "Certificat de Navigabilite pour Exportation" signed by a
representative of the Direction Generale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC),
of France, or a British "Certificate of Airworthiness for Export" signed
by a representative of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of the
United Kingdom, containing the following or equivalent statement:
"The airplane covered by this certificate has been examined, tested and
found to conform to the type design approved under Type Certificate
No. A45EU and to be in condition for safe operation".
In order for the FAA to make the finding that a Concorde Type 1
aircraft is in a condition for safe operation, the FAA certificating
inspector or other authorized person must contact the Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, FAA Transport Airplane Directorate;
1601 Lind Avenue Southwest; Renton, Washington 98055; telephone
(425) 227-2196; fax (425) 227-1149, prior to issuance of the U.S.
airworthiness certificate to obtain the FAA Required Modification List
(RML) for the Concorde. Compliance with the one time modifications
identified in the RML for the Concorde is required in the interest of
safety and is necessary for a Concorde aircraft to be found in a
condition for safe operation.
Certification basis: FAR 21.29(a)(1)(ii) based upon:
The Anglo/French Supersonic Transport TSS Standards, as defined in
Contents List No. 29, dated March 26, 1976.

Equivalent safety shown in lieu of direct compliance with respect to
those requirements listed in Attachment "F" of FAA Concorde
Validation Program No. A45EU.
The aircraft is approved with respect to optional certification
requirements relating to ditching, ditching equipment and ice
protection, corresponding to FAR 25.801, 25.1415 and 25.1419,
respectively.
Date of Application : July 15, 1965.
Type Certificate No. A45EU, issued January 9, 1979.
Equipment:
The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness
regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for
airworthiness certification. Concorde Equipment List SB/8/00/0020 identifies
all required equipment and all optional equipment approved by the Direction
Generale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) of France and by the Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA) of the United Kingdom.
In addition, the following apply:
(1) CAA/DGAC-Approved Airplane Flight Manual, Document No.
CSD/FM/FAA No. 1, approved December 5, 1978, is applicable for all
serial numbers.
(2) Rain repellant installation is required in accordance with Concorde
Dwg E81/-5221.
(3) Main and nose-wheel tires are required in accordance with
Concorde Specification No. 459579/77.
Service information:
A. General:
All Concorde Service Bulletins are approved by the French DGAC and
the United Kingdom CAA and carry a statement to that effect. This
statement may be interpreted as "FAA-approved". All Service Bulletins
that are declared Mandatory by the CAA or are the subject of a French
"Consigne de Navigabilite" carry a statement to that effect. Other
available service documents for the Concorde include:
(1) Structural Repair Manual
(2) Illustrated Parts Catalog
(3) Wiring Diagram Manual
(4) Maintenance Manual
A45EU Page 8 of 9
B. Special Maintenance Requirements:
All Concorde aircraft must be maintained in accordance with a program which
includes the maintenance tasks presented in the current issues of the following:
(1) Concorde Document SST/B83/7013 "Special Maintenance Tasks
Required for FAA Certification"
(2) Concorde Service Bulletin No. 27.040 "SERVO-CONTROL
INSPECTION FOR DETECTION OF CRACKS ON VARIOUS
CRITICAL COMPONENTS"
(3) Concorde Service Bulletin No. 27.041 "INSPECTION FOR
HYDRAULIC FLUID TRANSFER DUE TO CRACKS AT SERVO-
CONTROLS and
(4) Concorde Service Bulletin No. 53.045 "INSPECTION OF UPPER
FUSELAGE (ROOF) BETWEEN FR 41 AND FR 72"
C. Special Modification Requirements:
The special maintenance requirements of Subsection B above result
from certification safety analyses and are necessary for compliance
with the airworthiness objectives of the Concorde certification basis.
Any modification to a system or component that is the subject of such
maintenance requirements must be evaluated with respect to reliability
in a manner consistent with the Concorde's certification safety
analyses, and the airplane's maintenance program must be amended as
necessary to ensure the declared level of reliability in service for the
modified system or component.
NOTES: NOTE 1:
(a) Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment
included in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions, must be
in each aircraft at the time of original certification and at all times
thereafter except in the case of operators having an approved weight
control system. SNIAS/BAC Report "Weight and Balance Manual"
contains loading information for each airplane and interior arrangement
configuration as delivered. This report contains, or refers to,
information relative to location of all passengers and crew member
seats, location and capacity of all cargo and baggage compartments,
buffets, storage spaces and coat rooms, location and capacity of
lounges and lavatories.
(b) The airplane must be loaded so that the C.G. is within the specified
limits at all times, considering fuel loading, usage and management,
gear retraction, and movement of crew and passengers from their
assigned positions.
Page 9 of 9 A45EU
(c) The weights of unusable fuel, systems oil and hydraulic fluid must
be included in the airplane operating weight empty, and are as listed
below.
(i) The unusable fuel is the difference between the total fuel
